Paint eyes and hair details for a low-poly anime character by combining Krita texture edits with Blender painting, using layers, references, and texture reloads to refine the base.
Paint the torso and arms of a low-poly anime character using Krita textures in Blender, refine shirt details, adjust brush settings, and add subtle shadows to suggest fabric folds.
Refine final texture details in Blender by fixing UV distortions, painting laces and shadows, projecting from the front, and testing with the mirror modifier for a polished low-poly anime character.
Have you ever wanted to create your own anime-style 3D characters, but didn’t know where to start?
Whether you’re coming from 2D art, or you’re a complete beginner in 3D — this course was designed for you. In this course, you’ll learn how to build a fully stylized, low-poly anime character from scratch using Blender.
We’ll start from absolute zero, learning how to navigate the interface, use essential shortcuts, model efficiently, unwrap UVs, and hand-paint stylized textures directly on the character. You will learn the real production workflow for character creation, broken down into simple and beginner-friendly steps.
By working on a single character from blockout to final presentation, you’ll understand how and why each stage works — which means you’ll be able to create your own characters after the course is finished.
Here are some of the key things you’ll learn:
Navigating Blender and using efficient shortcuts
Modeling stylized anatomy in a simplified, low-poly style
Building hair, clothing, accessories and boots
UV unwrapping and organizing maps for clean texturing
Hand-painting stylized anime textures with the Texture Paint tool
Fixing common issues like distortions and normal problems
Final presentation and rendering for portfolio or sharing
By the end of the course, you will have:
A complete low-poly anime character made from scratch
A solid understanding of the character creation workflow
The confidence to continue modeling and texturing on your own
This course is perfect for:
Complete beginners entering the world of 3D
2D artists transitioning into stylized 3D
Hobbyists and aspiring character artists
Anyone interested in anime, stylized art, or low-poly aesthetics
No previous 3D experience is required — just curiosity and a willingness to learn. All tools used in the course are free and compatible with standard desktop operating systems.
If you're ready to bring your characters to life and start your journey into stylized 3D, join the course and let’s build your first anime character together!
